Muslim residents hand out "Islam Explained" to fairgoers; want to show people they are "not terrorists."

Despite the smells of fried dough and roasted meat wafting from the Minnesota State Fair, Salim and Zuleyha Ozonder were focused on the people who were leaving, not the food or festivities beckoning from across the street.

Each time a new wave of people exited, the young Minneapolis residents  who hadn't eaten all day  tried to press into their hands a small, glossy card that read "Islam Explained" on one side. On the other, it had about 180 words of background on a religion whose adherents fear is being misunderstood by too many Americans as violent and depraved.

"You just want people to take the card, spend a minute reading it and say, 'Oh. They're not terrorists,'" said 27-year-old Zuleyha. She and her husband, like other Muslims, were fasting during daylight hours for the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.

"You just want people to take the card, spend a minute reading it and say, 'Oh. They're not terrorists,'" said 27-year-old Zuleyha."

Oh, yeah. I'm convinced, thanx!

Look at this!

"Najam Qureshi, a member of the Islamic Circle of North America's Minnesota chapter"

The ICNA? Oh my Kafir, what is that?

Affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood, an Egyptian-based movement that seeks to spread Islamic law throughout the world. Among them was current Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) President Zahid H. Bukhari - Bukhari traveled to India, Pakistan, Portugal, Latvia, Russia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina, speaking on topics from "Black Muslim Roots in America" to "The Emergence and Development of Islamic Civilization." ICNA's ideology is based on that of Jamaat-e-Islami, a group which calls for an Islamist revolution and Islamic state in Pakistan.

An introductory pamphlet for ICNA in the U.S. describes a similar goal, "to achieve the pleasure of Allah through the establishment of the Islamic system in this land."

A well-known Australian Muslim cleric has called for the beheading of Dutch anti-Islamic politician Geert Wilders, a newspaper said on Friday.

...The paper posted an English-language audio clip in which he refers to Wilders as “this Satan, this devil, this politician in Holland” and explains that anyone who talks about Islam like Wilders does should be executed by beheading.

Of course, this was just a training exercise and the Infidels had NO IDEA of what they were learning from their interaction with the peaceful locals in their attempt to see how close they could get w/o causing concern.

There, fixed it!

It makes it tough to believe them when they have 1500+ years of radical history. Did they change over night? I may be wrong, but I doubt it. Ban Sharia law from the United States......even if it has to become federal law.

A well-known Australian Muslim cleric:
..Feiz Muhammad, who was born in Sydney (ca 1970) but at present seems to be living in Lebanon, became notorious for telling his followers at a public meeting in Bankstown that women who were raped had incited mens lust by dressing immodestly [Strapless, backless, sleeveless, nothing but satanic skirts, slit skirts, translucent blouses, miniskirts, tight jeans] and only had themselves to blame.

He advocated strict male and female segregation.

Satanic skirts?

OK.

Sure thing.

Tolerance anyone?

15Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheeps clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 16By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. 19Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.

(Job 11:12). So Ishmael is called a “wild ass-man”; Hebrew (Ge 16:12). These Bedouin robbers, with the unbridled wildness of the ass of the desert, go forth thither. Robbery is their lawless “work.” The desert, which yields no food to other men, yields food for the robber and his children by the plunder of caravans.

Hmmm....he doesn’t mention black leather, spikes and studs.

Is it safe for me to leave the house?
